Pillars of Care winners

 Who has two thumbs and forgot to post the pillars of care winners? This guy... sorry team. Here are the January winners.

Care for Others: Kaliyah - is such a kind and helpful person and is always showing care for others in everything she does.

Care for Learning: Eliaz - has been putting in a great effort during our writing activities, making sure he does his best and is improving his writing skills every day.

Care for Place: David - has been trying to keep his desk area clean and to make sure he takes all his belongings out of the coat room at the end of the day.

Care for Self: Ezri - has shown care for self by dressing warmly for the weather, wearing her mask properly, and remembering to sanitize her hands.

Pillar of the Month: Adalynn - We learned that part of wisdom means being curious and Adi is a curious cat. I love when I hear “Mr. Beechey, I have a question…” as it is another opportunity to learn something new.

Friday Jan 28th

 Hi all,

Today we started off our day a little differently by having gym right away. Then we came back to class and had our pillars of care assembly. We did a calendar and then snack with a new book series called Cat Ninja. We did read to self and partner reading. We went over our Friday Favourites and also did some math word problems. 

Reminders:

No school Monday.

Report cards are released next week. You will not be sent home a paper copy but instead have to log on to mycbe.ca to view your child's report card. 

Thursday Jan 27th

 Hi all,

Today we had a cool Mario themed show and tell. We saw Mr. Wiens for music and had our liquids quiz in science. We went on ipads for mathletics and also learned what natural resources you can find in Iqaluit. 

Reminders:

No school Monday

Tomorrow morning we have a schedule change and will have gym right away at 8am. If you are late you will find us in the gym, not the classroom. This is just for tomorrow. 

Wednesday Jan 26th

 Hi all,

Today we did some free writing in the morning with the added challenge to see if you could add some rhyming words in! We played some jeopardy to review our science concepts for the quiz tomorrow. We wrote wow word sentences and also started talking about word problems in math. We skipped in gym with Ms. Sterne and then had a special guest for the last half hour of the day to read us some BFG. 

Reminders:

Tomorrow is library day so if your library book is at home make sure it comes back tomorrow so you can exchange it!!

No school on Monday Jan 31st

Tuesday Jan 25th

 Hi all,

Today we talked about how to rhyme words by looking at the last sound in a word. It can usually help with spelling because they usually end with the same letters too! We did a little experiment with some materials and tested how absorbent they were. We also looked at how expensive food is in Iqaluit compared to a bigger city closer to the supply chain. We added and subtracted some bigger numbers as we start to do some real grade 2 math. We ended our day with jump ropes and then hearing about the adventures of the BFG.

Have a great night everyone!!

Monday Jan 24th

 Hi all,

Today we heard another show and tell as we catch up our friends who have missed their days. We had music and heard a musical story about wisdom. We did number of the day and also started learning how to add and subtract bigger numbers. We learned that you need to make sure your 10s and 1s places are lined up or you will get a different answer! We practiced our 5 new Wow words - five, like, cried, time, quiet - which all have an 'ie' or 'i_e' sound in them. The bossy e makes the i say its name. We ended our day with some skip rope and BFG.

Thursday Jan 20th

 Hi all,

Today we went to the library for our book exchange. We had a show and tell where we got to meet Pikachu. We had some liquid races and learned what the word viscosity means. Ask me how I can make a thick, viscous liquid go faster! This afternoon we played a couple of math games and took a look at what landforms are up in Iqaluit. 

Have a great night everyone! Enjoy the warm weather and lets all hope it carries on and we get more lovely warm outdoor recesses!
